Former Brevard County Clerk of Courts Mitch Needelman and his staffers used private email accounts to conduct BlueWare business - including behind-the-scenes contract negotiations - to try to hide details from public scrutiny, Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators allege.

Email correspondence since April 2012 played a key role in developing and shaping the FDLE political-corruption case against Needelman and two BlueWare executives, newly released documents show.
